I guess I can elucidate some! Aya's origin is Scandanavian, or at least that's what it was intended to be. I originally imagined Highlander Hyur as Nordic. A warrior people from a land of cold and snow (albeit, without the ships). I've come to find that's probably not the case, especially given how dark skinned Highlanders tend to be, she really stands out with her pale skin and blonde hair (but.. that's what she is!)
She's tall (5' 10", without heels), and rather athletic. Despite her cheerfulness and bubbliness there's a hint of potential menace to be seen in her form for anyone taking a close enough look beyond her body language. Culturally she's an adapter, a useful trait for a girl who spent most of her childhood as a refugee. She adopted Ishgardian culture as her own, and speaks with an obvious and undiminished Ishgardian accent, and carries the mannerisms and mystique of her adoptive home city. I suspect that native Ishgardians can tell her accent is not quite right, and would rightly assume that she's not native to the city, but others would find it very difficult to do so. She tried to blend in somewhat during her time in Gridania, but has intentionally continued to stick out in her Ishgardian manner in Ul'dah. |

Faye would be English, definitely. Only other alternative would be from the southern US, perhaps. Ahh, yes, she could very easily be a southern belle, sitting on her front porch in a poofy dress drinking iced tea with a sweetly sarcastic "bless you" as Papa threatens her latest caller with his shotgun...

Y'lani would without a doubt be Syrian. Many of her songs are inspired by Syrian folk music and her tribe's language is similar to Arabic, like English is to Spanish.Â
In fact, the song Yal Asmar Ellon was my driving factor to make Y'lani. Feel free to have a listen! This choir's performance begins rather quiet at first, and then grows into a large crescendo later on, so... just a warning!

Indian, more specifically the northern regions most likely. Smiling River is heavily inspired by "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse after all.
I’m the bullies you hate, that you became.
